A Day in the Life of a Master(s) of Education

Well Blogger World, The month of August has been an interesting one. Some major life changes have happened that I don't want to go into but were substantial enough to put into motion a new course of life. Actually I will take the time to talk about one of those changes. On a recent trip to WDW I was disapproved in a few of my roles due to my weight gain and size. I will credit WDW Costuming Manager Winnie for handling a tricky situation with kindness and grace. I understand that she has a job to do and a look to achieve and currently I do not meet those guidelines. Though I was initially upset and distraught, I have since used this as a fuel to my fire weight loss and body toning goals. I have evaluated my eating habits and have since adopted a 4-5/day week workout routine and a protein packed 2000 calorie eating plan. I do not really like the word "diet", too many negative connotations. I feel good. I like it thus far. It has been a struggle to be consistent but with m...

This one was unexpectedly awesome. Regina King @ the Atlanta Botanical Garden. Apparently she was scouting for a movie filming in Atlanta.  What made it so awesone was how laid back she was. The highlight of a Manic Monday. 

These haven't been happening as much for me lately in Atlanta (mostly because I haven't been out and about) so I was pretty excited about it. Spotted Samuel L. Jackson (Snakes on a Plane, Pulp Fiction, Captain America) at a prescreening of Robocop. It had been a really tough day so I was kinda of excited to see a DC Native and celeb. That's all for now. Until next post laters!!

Just saw Jessica Alba and her family at the garden. Word on the curb is that she will be viewing our holiday lights show. Awesome.

At an Atlanta Dream Game with Kevin and scored two! Jazzy Pha & Usher! That is all. ♡ Moe

Here we are in the seventh month of the year and I feel like it's almost over! Well that's because it is. I figured I would take this time and update all my loyal readers (yes the both of you) what's been happening in my day-to-day life. So let's get started. Well as you know this is been a year of concerts for me. I've had the pleasure of seeing lots of artist for the first time. So far, I've seen Maroon 5, Owl City, Olly Murs, T.I., Lil Wayne, Ke$ha, Pitbull and in a weeks time my ATL baby Ludacris! it has been so fun to be able to spend my money and see artists whose music I truly enjoy. Hopefully I will be able to post some photographs really soon.  One of the benefits of living in Atlanta is its great music scene , which I haven't really had the chance to take advantage of until now. Boy am I making up for lost time. In recent revelations I decided to start working out a the regular basis. Why? Well realize that I wasn't all that happy with the ...

Well actually it wasn't the forum but the greenhouse at work...and it wasn't funny "haha" it was more funny "hmmm". Details? Well this morning at work I realized that I had yet made a post for the month because it was a pretty quite month thus far. As I am walking to check on my greenhouse and pondering what to have my volunteers do I look up at the sky to see one of the most ominous looking clouds I have seen since the sky turned orange before a terrible storm.  I have a love/hate relationship with storms.  I think they are magical and I love magic but they are so violent too. Anyways I think to myself that I would hate to be inside my all metal greenhouse if a storm was to break out.  Well you know how people say that your words are powerful and you must be careful what you say?  Haha guess where the storm caught me? As I sat on the floor I figured I would work on my post and really take the time to reflect on this month. It couldn't have been as ...

So I was eating lunch at work yesterday when there was a slight commotion. Usually when things like this happen in the garden it's my cue to head in the opposite direction. This time however my lunch of Turkey and Apple Chutney on White kept me in my seat. It's a good thing too because I scored a celeb sighting! This is a major one in certain circles, a minor in others and a nonexistent in still more. Alas the build up has come to it's peak. Yesterday I saw Vern Yip of HGTV fame. He just redesigned our MetroFresh Cafe seating area. I don't love it yet....but it also isn't totally finished yet so I am reserving my judgment (keyword in that sentence: YET). Other than Mr. Yip (hahahaha for some reason he doesn't come off as a "Mr." so it's a bit humorous to me) visiting I've got nothing really special to share with you all. September has just been a month full of work deadlines and commitments and pressure so I am just keeping low to the ground a...

This past weekend was pretty exciting for me I must say. I have lived in this city for over 2 years (wow! Where did the time go?) and had not done a few things on my ATL bucket list. So I took it upon myself to check off a few. I attended Rainbow Days @ Six Flags Over Georgia!! (check) It was pretty empty for some odd reason so I was able to ride every coaster (check) and I got to see another celeb(check). This time it was Evander Holifield, former heavy weight boxer best known for being the guy who got his ear bitten off by Mike Tyson (cocaine is one hell of a drug). He looked pretty good and very nonchalant. In fact the only reason I recognized him readily was because there was a recent post about him on my fave ATL blog/gossip/info page Straight from the A . I also got to check out some Looney Tunes characters which was pretty cool seeing as I kinda have an intimate connection with that kind of thing...wink wink. I've added some photos for your viewing pleasure and that's al...

So yesterday at ABG we had a film shoot that I actually cared about. In the last couple of months we've had a reality show, independent movies and a couple of dramas all film at the garden. I've never really been all that interested...until yesterday. I religously watch Drop Dead Diva on Sunday nights except when I'm on the road, then I watch it Monday night On Demand. So you've probably guessed by now, that's who was filming yesterday in the Garden. Since I'm pretty much the only person at the Garden that watches no one else really cared but they all made allowances so I could be near the crew whilst still being professional. I mean they do not pay me to gawk they pay me to keep the plants alive...which I did....as I watched the crew and the actors. My team helped me out too by pretty much delgating anything that the crew need outside to me. If they needed a water key, I was on it. If they needed a tree trimmed, I pulled out my pruners. If they needed some plan...

So while Jimmy went to California to visit Disney and explore L.A. I decided to explore ATL. I recently went to a TV Show taping (but since I was only in the audience it will not be removed from the ATL Bucket List) and had the pleasure of not only seeing Hill Harper (CSI:NY) but also Tyrese (Baby Boy, Transformers). Tyrese even performed a classic and a new song. It was pretty cool to go out,, hang with a girlfriend and feel like an adult for once in my life. Maybe this whole living in Atlanta thing isn't as bad as I have been making it seem. Afterall we have our ups and our downs. Until next post.....
